Jean-Pierre Jacob loves poetry and has named his restaurant after Rimbaud’s famous poem, The Drunken Boat. Like the visionary poet, this two-star Chef audaciously plays with colours and images, turning each dish into a voyage for the senses. The splendid view of France’s largest natural lake, Bourget, may even awaken the poet in you. Jean-Pierre Jacob bases some of his creations on pike and powan from the Savoyard lake. The Hotel Ombremont boasts classical or contemporary rooms and suites with a view of the lake or the wooded park, in an atmosphere of calm and serenity.
